    You can try to stop overclocking to see if the temps improve.
    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!

    If ir's steadily declining, the paste is probably dried & cracked from prolonged heat over 90*C. I suggest re-doing the heat sink & cpu with Kryonaut or Arctic-MX4 thermal paste. Jack E/NJ
